Hi all
I was wondering if anyone has discovered the answers to the speculation about the ascended backpeices and more importantly the way you obtain them.

I am fully aware of the Mystic Forge recipes involving vile of condensed mist + 250 Ph stones/40 Crystals + 40 globs of ectoplasms + 250 T6 ingredient depending on what stat allocation you want. See following link for more information about these:

http://dulfy.net/2012/11/17/gw2-ascended-gear-and-infusion-recipes/

However these seem somewhat unobtainable for me as the power/pres/crit damage one that i am interested in will cost me upwards of 75g. I have been under the assumption that there was another way to obtain ascended backpeices via purchasing the exotic “Prototype Fractal Capacitors” from the FotM vendor for 1350 tokens and using them as a precursor for a different ascended backpeice recipe then the T6 ingredient ones. I have seen Ascended Fractal Capacitors on the GW2DB that don’t have “Prototype” in there name so I assume I’m on the right track however this has not been confirmed by anyone from what i can tell.

So what I’m really asking is… dose anyone have any information on this? maybe a hint from a dev? because its really going to be a huge bombshell if i have to save 75+ g for my backpeice.

Thanks Huntdog.

Good question. I also think this needs some clarification.

And 250 T6 ingredient requirement for one piece of gear makes me wish there were tons of bots in GW2. At least prices of mats would be a bit lower. I have been playing GW2 for +300 hours and my TOTAL gold income wasn’t even 75g (and this would be a lot less after necessary expenses). Therefore I really hope there would be some ways to obtain these items with no sick grind for gold or mats. Just by running dungeons. Why so many grindy mats ANet? Why?

Yeah I only have about half the gold for one of those back pieces despite playing for (too) many hours every day since release. Probably because I spend most of my play time either 1) running dungeons or 2) WvWvW. It turns out that I was doing it wrong- I should have been farming Cursed Shore and “playing the TP” exclusively in order to have the funds to craft anything in the My$tic Forge. I didn’t mean for this post to sound negative but it is kind of ridiculous.

There’s been a couple people on reddit/gw2guru who are experimenting with it, so far what we’ve got is the Prototype Fractal Capacitor + Vial of Mist Essence + ? + ?

Highly suspected Gift of Ascension is involved but of course no one has that many tokens yet, people have only barely been able to afford the Capacitor.

Any devs want to shed some light on the matter?

I like this.

I mean, I’d like to have a quiver at some point, but it’s nice to know that I won’t need to scratch the funds together to get some agony resistance if it actually becomes a problem.

This is good news. Confirmation of the before & after stat distribution would be really great, though.

What we need to find now, is the formula for the next tier upgrade, using just dungeon mats, the upgrade with 5 agony resistance built-in

Gift, prototype back, 40 crystals or 240 philo stones, and 1 vial makes an ascended prototype back.

But honestly, by the time you have enough relics for that, you will have gotten enough gold to make one of the other ones twice.

If you can get the dungeon tokens to buy that, you might as well get it and save tons of gold since you don’t really have a better use for those tokens in the first place.

Now if we could just figure out what the Beta Fractal Capacitor is and how to get it: http://www.gw2db.com/items/72464-beta-fractal-capacitor-infused

Any update on this? Do we even need the prototype fractal capacitor to make the beta or normal fractal capacitor?

Heads up, Don’t try transmuting the proto with a quiver. Doing so doesn’t allow any upgrades with Mystic tho is a nice skin.
